Care to expand? Or are you just overtly sexist and racist?

We understand that this topic evokes strong feelings. In the interest of maintaining a necessary and productive discussion, we will be taking a strong stance against posters that clearly do not contribute to this aim. Dishonest and bad faith arguments, victim blaming, and attacks on other users, will be strictly moderated. A post which only serves to muddy the waters and dishonestly portray the nature of assault and harassment (and corresponding accusations) is also unwelcome. | ||

Sad to hear specific stories, but they are clearly necessary for some, as despite them many still question the validity/sincerity of what can only be the tip of a much larger iceberg surfacing all over the US and world. I don't think it's news to anyone on TL that sexism and racism (and the harm/abuse that comes with it) is rampant in gaming and beyond, especially in the US. My thought on all this coming to the surface for many people is that individuals don't commit these acts in isolation but as part of a community (or several) and imo it's a community's responsibility to address not only various individuals behavior but the larger cultural and systemic issues that both allow it to happen and for the various actors and enablers to survive/thrive, often at their victims expense. Making it about the drama of accountability and a redemption arc (rather than the substance of it) based on individuals (even if they specifically are why this hits home for you) neglects the underlying issues which perpetuate the situation which produces the reprehensible individual behavior in the first place imo. This is a really good post and something people should actually think about a little. Why does almost every woman one can speak to have a story to tell? It's easy albeit necessary to ostracize the black sheeps from the community / society at large, but the core issues are way deeper than some extreme examples existing. It's everyday actions which allow this to foster, everyday actions which normalize toxic behavior en masse. To stay in gaming/media, it's things like 'joking' about gamer girls, putting them down, it's sexist tropes in storytelling, it's playing a game with voice chat and instantly go "grill" when a woman talks, it's a lot of stupid shit which is seen as normal and trains people to apply some fucked up standards. So yeah if you really want things to change then it has to come from way more basic things than calling out obvious crimes, you have to hold people accountable for their behavior in general, most importantly people you actually like. | ||

Well solicited dickpics do work quite well (as do titpics). It's just that some people have trouble figuring out what "solicited" means, and yet other people are of course just creeps. | ||

I think this kind of post is good as it makes you think about what you write and what you see in chats, an eyeopener of sorts. | ||

Seems like everyone has known about it for a long time and yet here we are. Even the police couldn't deter him. What can you do at this point? | ||

All this proof and he is still in our community.. He participated in ESL Qualifiers this month. I will NOT support ESL as long as he is still able to participate.. We need to remove these people from the game and our community. STAND UP FOR JUSTICE! | ||

We've been friends/acquaintances for years and have a good relationship towards each other. I think it is pretty disrespectful that people are putting her and other people under the spotlight and scrutinizing really minute details. A lot of these allegations coming out now have existed for years, and in Rapid's case, back to 2014 from multiple people. Just because people are getting the courage now to speak publicly about them should not make them any less important. I think there is a really unhealthy attitude some people are holding in the Starcraft community about these problems. | ||
